I've just had an e-mail off Martin Vickers which announces the signing of Daniel Vidot from Brisbane Broncos.

I don't know too much about him. Is he a decent signing?

Quality signing.Really powerful player 6ft 2inch 105kg can play wing or centre.Him and Carney are going to be a real handful for any defence if we can get the ball out to them.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daniel_Vidot Of Samoan & Irish descent, now there's a heady mix ☺

Carney, Johnson, MCB, Griffin, Sau, Vidot. 6 into 4 will not go, maybe MCB is on his way out?

Also forgot to add Bibby to that list.

Did he sign a contract for the WWE?

Happy with this signing.

Doesn't surprise me that Sheens wants an Aussie style centres and wingers for next season. Sau, Carney, Vidot and Griffin are big units. Backline already looks much stronger than last season imo.

Very happy with that signing, as said there is some power and pace in that backline with Carney, Sa'u, Griffin and Vidot. Johnson, MCB and Bibby will provide cover and back-up which as we know after last season is crucial.

Just need to wait for the forwards to be announced now.

A very good signing. When you look at the back line

Justin Carney 5'-10 l5s-4lb aged 27
Josh Griffin 6'-0 15-10 25
Junior Sau 5-9 15-4 25
Daniel Vidot 6-2 16-4 25
backing up
MCB 6-0 14-00 22
Greg Johnson 5-9 14-7 24

Some pace and power there and look at their ages all under 30 with years ahead of them
We just need Michael Dobson and Robert Lui to create the openings for them. with Evalds on their shoulders sniffing half chances. It is looking good on paper, just need to transfer it to the grass.

And he will have something to prove against Wigan as was dropped for a mistake against them last winter.

I just have a hunch that Josh Griffin may figure in the pack in 2016.

Not a bad thing. Loose for me.

So much for signing players with good character and attitude to build team spirit.
Vidot Lui and Carney to add to Jhonson all pretty good characters with fantastic attitudes


Jokes aside he is a very good player who i would have loved to replace Carney but looks like we will be bargain hunting again.
For what its worth i think getting rid of your Kiwi Clique will do you the world of good and signing players with a point to prove rather than players after a payday, i think you will go well this year and i sorta hope you do for Tim Sheens sake.

Vidot must have a good enough character for the WWE to offer him a contract.

How do you come to that conclusion, do you work for the WWE?

Yes i get that he may get a gig in WWE after his contract is up with his rugby but the artical is hardly a glowing character reference is it.

He signed a contract with the WWE from 2 years time. Guessing this deal was already in place when that happened. He's a big lad and will no doubt want to continue to get bigger. Concern for me for Salford would be will his heart be in it? Given he knows in 2 years he needs to be fit to go into the WWE (where he'll make a future for himself). Likely the reason Brisbane let him go?

Fantastic signing.

If he does get a contract in WWE, it'll do us no harm ... the WWE concept is big. Imagine he being spoken off as ex-Salford Rugby League. This is publicity that could be very valuably used.

Today's Metro (née Mail) had this phrase: "Chev walker ...has been named as assistant coach at Bradford ... to succeed former Salford boss Karl Harrison." Mr Harrison has done a lot as well ... but the sports writer focused on this area of his career. It does no harm to get a mention in any paper. Even as little as this.

So imagine the impact of WWE comment.

Rated Daniel Vidot , when he was at St George. happy .
53 tries in 110 NRL games , not a bad hit rate .

has been a first choice wing and on occasion Centre for Canberra, St George & lately Brisbane , looks to lost his 1st choice wing position in the Brisbane side to Corey Oates, A back rower who Bennett promoted to wing !
Corey has since signed an long term deal , and I guess then Vidot knew he was on the outer .

Yeah no doubt Vidot will have to remain fit and strong to compete in the WWE...despite many people's perception because its not classed as a real sport and scripted ..WWE athletes are incredibally fit..imagine how strong you need to be to hoist the Big show or Lesner up?.....reminds me of when I dated a girl off Tootal drive many years ago...she was a big unit and loved cake

CNUT, I just spat me Faggots out I laughed that hard.
